Review of Smokin' Aces (2006)

By Mark Rahner (88) for Seattle Times (3,524) on 26 Jan 2007

Review of Smokin' Aces (2006)

By David Elliott (754) for San Diego Union-Tribune (1,408) on 26 Jan 2007

The intended audience must be the fan club for Scarface (Pacino's), anyone who has made a superficial pass at Quentin Tarantino's work, and…

Review of Smokin' Aces (2006)

By Glenn Whipp (553) for Los Angeles Daily News (1,272) on 26 Jan 2007

Why, after nearly 90 minutes of splattering limbs, cat-fighting hookers and characters gleefully being set afire, does Carnahan suddenly decide…

Review of Smokin' Aces (2006)

By Jim Slotek (879) for Jam! Movies (2,396) on 26 Jan 2007

Review of Smokin' Aces (2006)

By Tom Maurstad (118) for Dallas Morning News (1,592) on 26 Jan 2007

This movie is meant to be watched the way a video game is played: just go from scene to scene and start blasting the minute you walk through the door…

Review of Smokin' Aces (2006)

By Kurt Loder (858) for MTV (492) on 26 Jan 2007

There are way too many characters to keep track of, they're too cartoonish to care about, and the plot is madly baroque in a most wearisome way…

Review of Smokin' Aces (2006)

By Abbie Bernstein (403) for iF Magazine (71) on 26 Jan 2007

There's a mob of name actors here, all doing fine work, though some around a lot longer than others…

Review of Smokin' Aces (2006)

By Daniel Eagan (552) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 26 Jan 2007

Review of Smokin' Aces (2006)

By Sara Michelle Fetters (1,688) for MovieFreak.com (1,674) on 26 Jan 2007

Carnahan hasn't really stepped too far out of the standard genre box here, and while that is unfortunate he's at least stepped into it with…

Review of Smokin' Aces (2006)

By Terry Lawson (645) for Detroit Free Press (942) on 26 Jan 2007

Anyone with a brain bigger than those of the Tremors will have figured out the big Usual Suspects twists that are designed to give all this…

Review of Smokin' Aces (2006)

By Eric Melin (822) for Scene-Stealers.com (667) on 25 Jan 2007

This non-stop superficial mugging would not even have been cool if it had come out twelve years ago, when Tarantino rip-offs were as common…

Review of Smokin' Aces (2006)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 25 Jan 2007

Review of Smokin' Aces (2006)

By Mark Pfeiffer (406) for Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema (402) on 25 Jan 2007

The rat-a-tat-tat dialogue and 70s trappings of Smokin' Aces is pure Tarantino, although like the countless imitators, it isn't as clever as…

Review of Smokin' Aces (2006)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for OhmyNews.com (129) on 25 Jan 2007

It's a manic visual exercise, but from a thoroughly intelligent filmmaker who has more on his mind than just a hack fireworks display meant…

Review of Smokin' Aces (2006)

By Willie Waffle (1,383) for WaffleMovies.com (1,380) on 25 Jan 2007

Review of Smokin' Aces (2006)

By David Nusair (3,363) for Reel Film Reviews (3,339) on 25 Jan 2007
